How Much Does a Home Theater Cost?

When we first started this business in 2005, home theaters were somewhat rare and only the very expense homes had them. Today home theaters are much more common and many people have at least visited one in a store demo, or in the home of a friend. Home theaters are sometimes called “media rooms” since they are used for watching media other than movies, like sporting events, video games, music videos, television programs, etc.

One of the first questions people asks is how much does a home theater cost? That is like asking how much a boat costs, or how much an automobile costs. I have built theater rooms from the mid teens to over $100,000. The best approach is to figure out how much you would like to invest and then work with a company that can help you make the most of your budget. Elegant Home Theaters can work with a wide variety of budgets.
